Gon might be a country boy, but he has high aspirations. Despite his Aunt Mito's protests, Gon decides to follow in his father's footsteps and become a legendary Hunter. The Hunter hopefuls begin their journey by storm-tossed ship, where Gon meets Leorio and Kurapika, the only other applicants who aren't devastated by bouts of seasickness. Having survived the terrors of the high seas, Gon and his companions now have to prove their worth in a variety of tests in order to find the elusive Exam Hall. And once they get there, will they ever leave alive...?
Hunter x Hunter Volume 1 is an exciting start to a brilliant series that doesn't hold back its aurora off for a minute. From the jump, you know this is Togashi's opus and creative peak, and he never holds your hand to tell you that you are in his world, a natural one. One that gets on with itself and just embraces what it is. Togashi no longer feels held down in his writing by expectation or limitation; he realized and opened the doors to limitlessness in his writing, a true sense of whimsical wonder that makes one realize they are in for the ride of their life. Hunter x Hunter, Volume 1 is like a burning sensation that hooks you in and makes you itch to read every single chapter you can find after, thanks to Togashi's biting vision, personality, and freedom that he will never let you forget.
